I went to the Crown Hotel a few times. I think I've still got the first anniversary patch somewhere. The crowd were bonkers, but totally up for it. I remember one time we left Euston at 7am Saturday morning to get to Derby to get the coach up with Keb ,Guy, Gilly, Tommo etc. That didn't leave until 1pm, we got there at 1am and I wasn't even taking anything.
Tempests 'Someday' was played on the coach up there on a cassette and by the trime we arrived it had been played a few times and 'broken' ready to play that night.
Great times
